You see , currently the networkinging NIC still not in function yet unless I could upgrade kernel to 2.4.25. and then install nvidia driver . I just downloaded backport's kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 under windows xp and left in "D:", before installing should I move it to "usr/src"by entering " mv kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 /usr/src"? or mount the Vfat partition at first then editing "sources.list" by adding " deb file:///mnt/backports... " then"apt-get update", "apt-get install kernelimage" or you've got other commands to achieve upgradings.
